liberator, I knew all that!

Oh, the lowness is truly what a man

understands best of all!

So, what will be your answer?

I'm very grateful.

Yes.

God will repay you, Master,

for taking her.

Only don't tell her what I said.

She's meek, but proud.

Proud, huh?

A proud one...

Proud ones are especially

good, when...

...when you no longer doubt

your power over them.

Taking her in my house, I wanted

absolute respect, authority.

What's that for?

I don't keep dogs or servants,

and in my line of work this

is necessary for protection.

On all her joys and raptures

I answered with cold indifference

That was my plan!

She saw quickly the difference in us...

...and the mystery in me.

The mystery - that's what

I counted on!

Listen...

Two months had passed.

How do I start here, it's

very difficult to...

Whenever you start making excuses,

it gets even more difficult.

You see, young ones despise

money, for instance.

I immediately started talking

about money.

I emphasized that topic,

to such extent, that she became

more and more silent.

When you were my fiancee,

I told you,

that the cost of our living, meaning

food for you, me and Lukeria,

is one ruble per day,

not more.

Then I raised it myself

on 30 kopecks.

Same goes for the theater.

I said we couldn't afford it, but

now it's allowed once a month.

Good, exspensive seats.

You must be satisfied.

What's funny?

I can live without theater,

save us some money.

Well, you can't make a fortune

without saving,

I need to get thirty thousand

in three years.

Yes, you heard me! I deserve it!

I started this business, only to...

Why, why should I even

make excuses in front of her?

Could she even understand my

excuses, my sufferings?

Some day she'll get it

by herself,

and she'll appreciate it

twice as much.

- I came here, thinking that

you may be interested in hearing

the details of your husband's

life before marriage.

Not here, of course... in a more

suitable place.

Shame on you! How

can you even talk like that?

Keeping in mind our

previous relations,

I do hope you will no longer dare

come into my house!

If you please.

You're right. Your house is not a

pleasant place for meetings.

I'd rather meet somewhere else.

All the best, Ma'am.

How low, how disgusting!

You think I didn't love her?

Everybody would tell you,

that I loved her!

You see, there goes the biting

irony of this situation...

Because I did, I really did

love her!

Although...

why am I even talking about it?

The point here is...

That I ramble on and on, but

can't quite get it together.

How did it all start?

Yes, that's how.

One... four... nine... seven...

Now that will do.

Thirty rubles.
